And just when you thought the GOP couldn't possibly get any worse with their insane rhetoric...
Being a single mom in Springfield, Illinois could get a little more difficult if certain GOP lawmakers get their way.
According to the proposed bill HB6064 filed last week by Reps John D. Cavaletto and Keith Wheeler, if a father is not listed on a newborn childs birth certificate, the birth certificate will not be issued for the child and any future financial assistance will be denied.
From the proposed legislation, as reported by the Chicagoist:
[The bill provides] that if the unmarried mother cannot or refuses to name the childs father, either a father must be conclusively established by DNA evidence or, within 30 days after birth, another family member who will financially provide for the child must be named, in court, on the birth certificate. Provides that absent DNA evidence or a family members name, a birth certificate will not be issued and the mother will be ineligible for financial aid from the State for support of the child.
